The Poet was an intense and suspense filled story that will leave you breathless. ~ Kitty – Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
Synopsis:
“The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.” -Jean Cocteau
Some call him friend or boss.
Some call him husband or dad.
Some call him son, even a favorite son.
But the only title that matters to him is the one the media has given him: The Poet.
A name he earned from the written words he leaves behind after he kills that are as dark and mysterious as the reason he chooses his victims.
One word, two, three, a story in a poem, a secret that only Detective Samantha Jazz can solve. Because he’s writing this story for her.
She just doesn’t know it yet.
Wow. What an intense and interesting story The Poet was. Lisa Renee Jones shows us another side of her writing
capabilities. Fans of hers may be a little surprised that this has absolutely no romance in it. It’s a mystery, a suspense filled story that will have you turning page after page until the end and then you will want more. What do I want after reading this? I want the love story of Detective Samantha Jazz and Special Agent Wade Miller. I have a feeling that it would be an interesting and intriguing story.
But, back to The Poet. Like I said … intense. You really never knew where this story was going. There were always plot twists that had me scratching my head and wondering where and why the story was going to go. Was I surprised. Damn straight I was. But, there is no way that I am giving anything away in this review. In fact, with all the developments in this story, I am not even going to attempt a synopsis. You will have to read this book in order to understand just what I am talking about.
Now, there are some things throughout the story that are classic Lisa Renee Jones. Her characters. A strong woman that is determined to catch a killer. A man that knows how to support her, stand by her side and take care of her at the same time. A supporting cast that enhances the story, brings it together and makes it whole. And, finally, a story line that is filled with suspense and intrigue and that will leave you breathless.
